Thank you So So Much triple j for having me on ´Like A Version´, and an even bigger thank you to the incredible legends that joined me!! ANDRÉ, KLP, Rob Edwards on vocals & Jack Robert on drums. You guys rocked it!
@@r4vster828 so in 1983, I was working for an electronics company and we had a stand at one of the first Perth Electronics Show. CD’s came out that year and we were surrounded by 4 hi-fi stalls who only had ONE cd and that was Toto IV. And they only played ONE track - Africa. By the end of the show I had heard that song about 50 times and I couldn’t listen to it any more. When I listened to the album I always skipped that song. I think I’ve just about over it now😂😂😂
Been a while since I was this impressed with a LAV. Most of them either (a) sound exactly like the original song, or (b) take a creative risk by trying to change it up, but it doesn't work out. But this one was really good. Well done!
Every Friday at 8am I love to see what's the latest creative genius to come out of Like A Version for the week, it's an addiction. This is the first time I've actually watched the video as well. Awesome!! It brings so much more life to the music and the artists performing their take on it. Thanks JJJ, winning!! And
So many of the LAV songs are on my playlist. These guys put a great spin on this song, really enjoyable! It also speaks to how good the original is as well. 1982? 30 years old wow. I love checking out the musicians that do these covers. Broadening the horizon :-) Thanks
This is just a song you don't ever, ever, ever cover. That's what I thought coming in, because I've thought every cover of this song has been terrible, but this was excellent. Way to make it your own, while keeping the original vibe!!!
Funny you should say that... I don't have a good reason for it, but I put together a playlist of people covering this a few years ago... 120 different versions (there were more, but some were deleted, some hidden).
@@kazielbonn Yeah, because the world needed another two middle aged guys doing an acoustic version of Africa. 🙄 As good as their vocals are, tell me exactly why that cover is unique in ANY way.
Go behind Dave Winnel’s Like A Version: ruclips.net/video/C8NvBUOdWFw/видео.html
Epic ..the best when music give you chills ..is rare Xx
Is he the one Singing also In Kygos Stole the show ? ?
I Hope you guys know Kygo 😍?
What a cover ... Made it your own.... From a man that can remember the original.... This has taken it beyond ... Well done man
Thank you So So Much triple j for having me on ´Like A Version´, and an even bigger thank you to the incredible legends that joined me!! ANDRÉ, KLP, Rob Edwards on vocals & Jack Robert on drums. You guys rocked it!
Ya crushed it mate
Amazing!
Good to see you still kicking goals Dave, can still remember organising raves together back in high school!
Absolutely crushed it! What a fantastic rendition!
This was epic !! You guys really did an amazing cover ! Yiew!
This song has no business going this hard, amazing cover.
I want to go to this party.
Its held at a marina - next to a pink yacht thats been out of the water for decades
As an 80’s child when the original was the soundtrack to my youth I 💯 APPROVE!! This brings back those joyous vibes and then amplifies them
The cover I never knew I needed
Wow wasn't expecting that! I'm 56 and I think I've just arrived in 2022, that was awesome!
This cover brings so much joy. Thank you for reminding us this song's greatness with crazy modern hype ❤
This should have Seriously made Top 3 on the TripleJ's Hottest 100 Like a Version!!! 🖤💗🖤
Never thought anyone could top Aurora doing massive attacks teardrop but here it is people!!!!!! What an absolute banger!!!!!!!!!
That was epic. This is definitely as amazing
I’m so in love with this version!!!!❤
Friggin nailed it peeps, breathed new life into a certified “classic” hit, exactly what a like a version should do 👏👏👏
Why the inverted commas, the original is a stone cold classic.
Damn. All the feels in this.. When homie comes in with his "Heyyyy Yeah!" - you could run that all day
Those drums and synths 😍 Smashed it!!
Their voices together 👌👌👌👌
Also the vibes of this entire song 👏👏👏
Stunning! I like it better than the original!!! Love Andre's vocals.
Music is the answer. This just answer questions i dont have yet but when i do...this performance answered it. Sublime. Gorgeous. What talent.
The synth(?) beats make this so great and the vocals are so lively, great job!
This is so beautiful and funky thanks for doing such great justice to a revered classic
This sounds like a crash bandicoot version of the song, I like it.
Omg 😮 this is awesome!
When that beat drops. Been cranking this in the car. SO BLOODY GOOD!!
Favorite cover of this song! The energy is through the roof!!
I think it's the energy that really sells it, they're just crushing it and it's damn hard not to go along
So well mixed, and the tones of each vocalists. Dave’s a real producer man … fk
One of the best 80’s EVER..Hot 🔥 stuff.. Thank you
Got about a minute in then had to check the comments to make sure everyone else was talking about how sick this was. Not disappointed.
So good! Get goosebumps each time I watch this
Same!
Possibly my all time fave 'like a version'
I've had 'Africa' as a ring tone on my phone for two years. Its now going to be updated to this like a version!
how do you get this version to become a ringtone?
This is perfection. Whish they did more of the song. I could listen to it for hours!
In Africa and loving this new tune. Nice work guys❤
This is the hot music.
Love it just sent it to me mates in London.
This cover is nuts! Love it
Dave Winnel! Can I just THANK YOU for saving a song that I once loved then hated for a loooooong time! Brilliant cover sir, just brilliant!!!
How can you hate Africa!?

This is a fucking masterpiece! OBSESSED!! 🙌🏼
Hectic remix. The fact everyone is dancing is a testament to how go this like a version is. Old mate signing at the end if heavy! what a voice
WOW. Incredible cover and the vibes are AMAZING.
Seriously, everyone loves this song, and now I love it even more with this awesome cover!!!
They made the greatest bop of all even more of a bop.
So upbeat it just soothes the soul! Makes me feel 18 again
5pm reset time in miami … thank u for this 🙌🏻
soo GOOOOD.... the keyboardist's vocals at the end really make it for me (as well as the rest of it)
Wow ... I had goosebumps listening to this, and that doesn't happen often. Amazing cover, I can't stop listening to it!
After listening to this masterpiece, 3:18 - 3:38 is a special moment. Look at their faces!!! ❤️
Good tip!
it's great to see that they're just genuinely happy to get to cover that song
Im totally blown away from this cover! brilliant work
I was so scared when I saw what the cover was... They have done this so well!
Hell yeah to this arrangement. So much energy!
One of the best covers to date. Up there with Aurora's Teardrop, Sly Withers' Coldplay and Denzel Curry's Bulls on Parade. Thanks as always!
Nah
Totally Agree!!

WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS! WHAT A COVER THIS WAS!!! 🙌

It's an addiction hehe

Check your maths there, it's 40 years old

@@xxjerzyrecordsxx Leo Moracielli (metal version) and the Pickin' On series (bluegrass version) were fuckin rad
Clearly you haven't watched/heard Mike Massé and Jeff Hall's cover.
@@kazielbonn Yeah, because the world needed another two middle aged guys doing an acoustic version of Africa. 🙄 As good as their vocals are, tell me exactly why that cover is unique in ANY way.
Weezer did a good job covering this song.
This is now the best like a version 💯
Being a 'classics' fan (HUGE TOTO FAN)..I usually dislike remixes of old hits and stuff..but this is SOOO GOOD!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS. 🙏🏾👏🏾❤
This is the first LAV in about 4 years that I have really enjoyed
Now this is a tuuuuunnnnneeeeeee!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
